Armod couldn't believe that Xanthe actually thought that they had been married for a year. He's only had her for a week and now she thinks she his wife, which is perfectly fine with him. So now he was out with Xanthe, his "wife", and they were looking for a ring to replace the one she never had.

Xanthe was walking alongside Armod and forced herself not to pry into his head. She was not in the best of moods and her mind kept wandering away from her. She kept thinking of her dream last night. She was looking at rings with Armod and he picked out real fancy one that had a huge diamond on it. It was all too fancy for her really, but trying to be a good wife she accepted in with a forced smile. As soon as she put it on, blood spilled from her side. She woke up grasping it in pain and she was all covered in sweat. What could it have possibly meant?

"Here we are my sweet." Armod said as they stepped up to a very familiar looking booth.

It was the booth from her dream. The same guy was running. This was getting a little too real.

"Here try this one on."

He offered a ring to her. It was gold set with a big diamond on it. It was the ring.

She screamed and slapped his hand and it fell to the dirt. Armod raised his hand as if to strike her, but Xanthe ran away before he even had time to deliver the smack. She ran crying. Why couldn't she remember her past? Why should she have to trust a man who was about to abuse her in public who claimed to be her husband? What was happening to her?

The branches were tearing her silk gown, and her arms and legs were getting cut. Her hair was a tangled mess and she had now realized that her flimsy sandals had fallen off.

Not watching where she was going she crashed into something and fell to the ground in a daze.

"Are you alright?" someone was asking.

She couldn't answer. She couldn't speak. Her mind was racing and was trying to figure out what had just happened.

"Here grab my hand and I'll pull you up."

She couldn't move either.

Suddenly she felt strong hands around her waist and she was floating up to his face.

"There. That wasn't so hard...."

The man trailed off as she looked into his eyes.

"Nice." She spoke, "The wolf man is hear."

She was unconscious before she even hit the ground.
